So now that I know that the books I've been drawing will actually see print, let's get excited about them! I have checked the largest book seller to see how the pre-orders are going. Nice! The weird thing is that the Cat book already has 5 out of 7 stars and it's not even on the stands yet! I should say that this is the first book where Barnes and Noble has given me stars. You find my Western book there if search. Remember, my book comes out September 2nd!

I caught a flat yesterday on the 110 freeway. I was taking my GF to the airport when the front right tire started giving out. It wasn't a blowout, It was just under inflated. It's my fault for not paying attention to the tire pressure, I am just glad that nothing horrible happened.

I was able to pull off the freeway and limp into a Chevron station. I considered changing the tire myself, but my GF had AAA and figured, why not learn from the pro. It was a hot day and he was working, so I think I ticked the AAA guy off with my questions.

So, the spare was put on, we got to the Airport with time to spare and I said goodbye to my GF. I should point out hanging out with a flat in a gas station was not fun, but at least I got to spend more time with someone very special.

I started browsing EBAY, looking for original art and I saw this. In the comics section, they put a cover of The Silver Surfer that I inked. I also inked the interior. I thought that was cool! So random! So cool!

I came across a photo for the upcoming 'Tropic Thunder' movie. It's about a group of actors dropped into a tropical war zone. I remember acting in a film, where I was a Vietnam soldier! The movie was 'The Freelancer' and the photo was taken on location in New Jersey. I think the year was 1989 and you can see how similar the two movies are!

The cover of Warriors: Tigerstar and Sasha has been put up on Amazon.com. It's exciting to see this first book come out but it's strange to read the comments made by fans. I know that since no one knows the story, they can only comment on the art. More than one reader commented on how Sasha's head looked weird. I agree! But I won't take the blame because my art was retouched by Tokyopop or Harper Collins or maybe both. Here is a before and after.
